Escape to Edinburgh City Centre.

In the speciality shopping district of Bruntsfield, our classic Victorian townhouse styled hotel boasts traditional features (and its fair share of modern ones too!). You'll be in a prime beauty spot, with Bruntsfield Links Park offering the rare opportunity to enjoy wide open greenery in a city centre location.

Maintaining high brand standards and excellence in quality is second nature to the BEST WESTERN PLUS Bruntsfield Hotel in Edinburgh. We have proven that going that extra mile during our annual BEST WESTERN quality assurance assessments really does pay off. Our hard work and dedication to cleanliness and quality of both guest rooms and public areas has gained us the BEST WESTERN International Quality Award. A global recognition of excellence given to only a few selected hotels throughout the world, this award shows that we take pride in offering high levels of excellence in quality and brand standards our guests expect.

Opening hours

If you would like to play a golf course that is close to the centre of Edinburgh yet within the Green belt; with fantastic views down the coast of East Lothian and across the Firth to Fife; then look no further than Craigmillar Park Golf Club.

Although partly built on the hillside next to Blackford Hill, the course is largely rolling parkland in character. The tree planting carried out over a number of years has enhanced the appearance and increased the difficulties for the wayward golfer.

Craigmillar Park is host to the first Scottish Amateur 72 hole event of the season. Scotlands leading amateurs and many players from south of the border descend on the course in April each year to take part in this event previously won by 6 times major winner Sir Nick Faldo.

Situated to the west of Edinburgh, Kingsknowe golf club is within easy reach of all Scotland via the Edinburgh City Bypass. Originally designed by Alec Herd, the 1902 Open champion, the course was later redesigned by James Braid.

The parkland golf course in Edinburgh is laid out over and through the valleys of gently rolling hills on which Oliver Cromwell's army gathered to bombard Redhall Castle in 1650. The hills now define the picturesque cherry tree-lined fairways from which the mindful golfer must propel his ball to the well-guarded and relatively small greens.

The hotel is an ideal choice for weddings in Edinburgh for between 20 and 100 guests. Our elegant Cardoon Suite overlooks the gardens from the conservatory and provides a beautiful venue for your wedding reception. Years of experience by the management and staff of the hotel ensure that from the moment you start to prepare, to the end of the day, we'll take care and guide you through your plans - leaving you free to enjoy your wedding.

Wedding service and reception venue

Thanks to a lovely terraced garden and conservatory, you and your guests can enjoy your big day in Victorian townhouse style. We can arrange any kind of entertainment to suit individual requirements, from pipers to bands, putting the icing on your reception cake!

With a choice of dishes available (all cooked by our award-winning chef), you'll have your pick of special menus for your special day.

The BEST WESTERN PLUS Bruntsfield Hotel's feature room is ideal for happy couples. With four poster bed luxury and fantastic views over the city to Fife, we'll make you even happier!

Good for a one night stop over but poor food lets it down for a longer stay

Staff were excellent, room was immaculately clean and beds very comfy. My disabled Mum well catered for with connecting room and reserved parking. Food was mediocre at best. Big breakfast buffet but coffee, tomatoes, sausages, were cheap and tasteless (scrambled eggs good!). Evening meals a great disappointment - meat tasteless and fish murdered. Fine if you just want a burger, but we'd hoped to eat there every night. Quality of wine disappointing too - From the 4 different bottles we tried, I could have chosen better from my local supermarket shelf. Manager tried hard to please us, listened to our views, great service....but didn't help the food disappointment. For a one night business trip it would be fine though.less

Stayed for 2 nights during Edinburgh Jazz and Blues festival. We stayed in a standard room which was spacious with a comfortable bed. The breakfast was excellent. We also stayed for evening meal both nights - they have a really good pre theatre fixed price menu - and really enjoyed that too. The staff were excellent - very warm and helpful - could not be faulted. The location is very good with Edinburgh centre a pleasant walk through the park. Would definitely stay there again.less

This was my second hotel in Edinburgh, but my 2nd Best Western while in Scotland. The first was in Inverness the week prior.
Best Western exceeded my expectations both times.
Easily located within walking distance to the Royal Mile, museums, restaurants, and the University. Room was quite large for the UK with very comfortable beds.
No noise complaints with the building, only with the swing door to my floor and other people not really knowing how to be courteous.
Thank you for such a great stay while in Scotland. I will definitely book with Best Western again for my next trip. less

Liked the size of the room (145) and nice bathroom. You can open a window. In fact 2 windows were open when we entered the room for the first time (7.30 PM). Unfortunately the odours of the restaurantkitchen below were the premier 'guest'. Closed the window and opened it at night - problem solved. Used fan full power in the warm room.
Hotelrestaurant Bisque Brasserie is recommended. The breakfast also. Kind staff.
Public transport is within easy reach if you don't like walking to the city centre (15-20 min.). Small carpark but parking in front of the hotel possible (free after 6.30 PM Saturday en no charge Sunday).less
